The Free Ad-Supported Streaming (FAST) service Pluto TV has launched four new channels in collaboration with Sony Pictures Television (SPT) following a multi-territory agreement between the two companies.
The new channels are operating on Pluto TV across Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the UK, catering to audiences in each territory.
Audiences in the UK, Italy and Spain can watch a channel dedicated to the classic SPT series Married with Children, while viewers in the UK and Spain can also watch The Nanny. Viewers in Italy can watch The Jeffersons, and the classic 80s hit sitcom Who’s The Boss recently launched in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Pluto TV is committed to bringing unique content to our audiences worldwide, through valuable partners and carefully curated channels that offer the best of traditional TV and streaming”.
